Take a coursera course on some interesting subject. Andrew Ng's machine
learning course is excellent and you'll come out with an understanding of
how to use sci kit-learn (although he doesn't use Python in the class). The
cryptography class is a lot of fun too. Or take an algorithms class so you
can crush your next set of job interviews.

I like to watch the videos while I exercise, then work through the problem
sets in the evening
